Jayr POV - Dragon Ball Universe(A.T.), Earth, West City - Age 796
Watching Black as he continues to skid on the ground unable to stop himself until he crashes into a building and the overwhelming performance of Vegeta, Future Trunks can't help but stutter in awe, "Th-That form... that dad's in..." to which Goza calmly inform the clueless Saiyan before he can form the question that is clearly in his mind, "That's Super Saiyan God. It's one transformation before Super Saiyan Blue."
Hearing that, Future Trunks exclaims, "One before!?" before he comments in a dumbfounded tone, "But... Black's in Super Saiyan Rosè 2 and yet he's getting crushed by it."
Goza smirks and says in a confident tone, "This is what Vegeta-san figured out... While Super Saiyan Blue, and thus Super Saiyan Rosè, provides a huge burst of power it can't be maintained for a long period of time and it is even more so for an enhanced form like Super Saiyan Rosè 2, especially since it is a newly discovered form with little to no mastery. In that regard, the Super Saiyan God form gives a better balance without exhausting your stamina quickly." to which I nod and add, "And don't forget that Black has also transformed into Super Saiyan Rosè 2 for quite some time already... He still doesn't notice how much this form is draining him because Zamasu healed him and restored his stamina before, but he is clearly getting slower and weaker the more time passes."
After hearing our explanation, Future Trunks then wonders still confused about a few details regarding what is going on, "B-But... That still doesn't explain how he's beating Black while in the weaker Super Saiyan God form..." to which Goza explains, "He's not doing it while in Super Saiyan God form. If you take a closer look at their battle you will notice it. In the very instant that he attacks... Vegeta-san switches to Super Saiyan Blue."
In response to that, Future Trunks can't help but exclaim in awe, "I-Incredible... He's doing all that..."
Goza nods with a smirk on his face and continues to explain with clear admiration in his tone, "By conserving Super Saiyan Blue's power, he's able to maximize it by instantly releasing it in an explosion of power. Vegeta-sam is doing it over and over and over again. And on top of that, his power isn't dropping off at all. This is surely the result of the extreme training he went through and the massive battle experience he accumulated in his life. Those are the only reasons why he is able to pull something like this off. It is because of those things that I'm still not confident when it comes to fighting Father and Vegeta-san. I'm pretty sure that if our overall power were more or less equal then I would surely be no match for them."
While Goza is saying that, Vegeta chases after Black, but before he can reach him, the building he crashed into is blown away as a result of an Explosive Wave unleashed by an upset Black.
The Explosive Wave is a technique where the user bursts out ki from all over their body in order to repel the opponents around them, it is a pretty basic and useful Ki technique whose power and range increase the more Ki is used.
Seeing that scene, Vegeta lands in front of the smoking blown away building, and shortly after a clearly pissed-off Black walks out and says, "... Don't mess around with me. It's obvious you're just using some incomprehensible technique..."
In response, Vegeta smirks and says, "Salty that you're losing to a Super Saiyan God...? Mr. Super Saiyan Rosè 2?" which makes Black rebut, "Me? Lose? Don't be ridiculous."
Vegeta snorts and states with absolute confidence in his tone, "Hmph. Well then, I'll settle this and leave zero doubt in your mind."
After that, Vegeta and Black clash again, and just like before Vegeta dodges Black's attack in Super Saiyan God form and quickly retaliates transforming into Super Saiyan Blue for an instant sending Black crashing to the ground with a powerful kick before he chases after him.
Black and Vegeta continue to tirelessly exchange blow after blow in mid-air, and during the whole exchange of blows, Vegeta has always the advantage as he continues to dodge and retaliate with vicious blows until he lands an uppercut which Black uses to create some distance from his opponent and land of the ground with Vegeta following after him and landing a few meters away from him.
At this point, Black wipes the blood coming out of his mouth and states in a somber tone as he realizes what Vegeta is doing, "So that's it... You've been secretly transforming, like a filthy rat in the shadows... And at the same time, I'm getting slower and weaker as this form is draining my stamina very quickly..."
Hearing that, Vegeta smirks and comments, "Too you long enough... But even if you've finally figured it out... What are you going to do about it? Your pathetic other self is too occupied with Kakarot to worry about you... and in your current state, you are no match for me!"
Shortly after saying that, Vegeta again makes his move quickly landing another punch on Black's face who grunts in pain and wonders out loud, "Shit... How can you be capable of this!?" which makes Vegeta smirk and comment, "Look like you stole the wrong body! Now it's about time I finish this!" before they two once again start to battle.
At the same time, Goku who is still calmly beating Zamasu up notices that the fight between Vegeta and Black is about to end in the former's favor and lightly comments, "Looks like they'll be finishing up over there in a second." before he focuses back on Zamasu and asks, "Do you plan on continuing your evil ways even if you're all alone?"
Goku's words clearly upset Zamasu who can only send him a murderous glare as Goku continues, "Surely you're well aware that you can't do anything by yourself. Isn't it hard? Knowing that you're just being used by your other self?"
Stunned for a moment, Zamasu opens and closes his mouth unable to say anything in his defense and then he yells in an enraged tone, "Silence!! Shut your mouth, mortal!!"
But Goku doesn't stop and continues to advise Zamasu in a genuinely concerned tone, "To be honest, alone, even Trunks is stronger than you. Even if you are immortal, you are so pathetically weak that you'll never be able to kill all the mortals in the universe the way you are now."
At this point, a clearly uncomfortable Zamasu stammers something trying to reassure himself, "You... I... O-Our plan is perfect... failure cannot be permitted..."
Seeing this scene and Zamasu's current state, Future Trunks can't help but cheerfully comment out loud, "It... It looks like he's finally taken some damage!! EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!"
Hearing that, I can't help but open my eyes wide in surprise before I turn to look at Goza and tilt my head in confusion while asking, "What the heck? How in the holy underworld could he know about something like that?"
Goza scratches the back of his head in embarrassment and explains with a small chuckle, "Hehehe... I may have let something along those lines slip a couple of times during the Cell Game, but come on, I was barely a teen..."
In response to his explanation, I immediately wipe away an imaginary tear from the corner of my left eye and say in a genuinely moved tone, "I knew that you were a true fellow Man of Culture... You were already spreading the Meme Culture way before knowing me. I'm so proud of you!"
While we are joking like that, an irate Zamasu doesn't waste any more time speaking and immediately retaliates with a swift upward motion of the hand as he manipulates his Ki to disrupt the planet's geomagnetic field, thus, making the ground under Goku's feet explode with violent force unleashing an Exploding Wave.
Of course, Zamasu's Exploding Wave completely misses Goku, who had already moved away from the area of the explosion shortly after Zamasu started his technique and arrived behind Zamasu without him noticing at least until he spoke, "Give up and return to your own universe Zamasu!"
Shortly after saying that, Goku thrusts his open palm forward and unleashes a powerful Kiai that blows Zamasu with such force that he crashes right behind the heavily beaten up and tired Black who notices him and momentarily stops his battle with Vegeta.
The Kiai is a technique where the user affects the air currents around him with ki to produce powerful shockwaves in order to strike the opponent.
It can be used to attack or counter some techniques and can be used in different ways, such as invisible punches, powerful screams, a shockwave glare, or even air explosions coming from the entire body.
The blast's power, speed, range, and force vary based on its user, however, there are also variations of the technique that have been shown to have different effects.
For example, Goku's version is oftentimes projected from his hands just like now, but it can also be released from his eyes, his whole body, or even with a simple shout, in fact, a Kiai can also be used to restart a person's heart in a manner akin to a defibrillator, it is a quite versatile technique overall, even if not especially powerful.
Still lying on the ground, Zamasu let out a painful grunt before he complains, "Damn it... It wasn't supposed... to be like this... God... Damnit..."
Black glares at his pathetic other self and snorts clearly pissed off before he shouts, "Get up! An immortal being such as yourself should not be in such a pitiful state!"
Soon, Zamasu's immortality kicks up again and all the damage immediately recovers before Zamasu instantly gets up and angrily grabs Black by his grey dogi and yells, "You never said anything about something like this happening!!! If we team up, we'll be able to turn all the universes into exactly how we want to be! That's what you told me, isn't it!? But if you're not the strongest being in existence, then that whole plan goes to shit!!"
While we all are watching this scene, Goku walks up to Vegeta and calmly asks, "What's happening? Are they having a falling out?" which makes the Saiyan Prince comment, "Looks like it's over." before he raises his hand pointing at them with his open palm and asks interrupting their bickering for a moment, "Would the two of you like to be killed by me while you're bickering... or would you rather kill each other off? The choice is yours."
Hearing that, both Zamasu and Black stop to look at him before Black grabs Zamasu's wrist making him release his dogi and say, "Calm yourself, brother. We still have our last resort left, do we not?"
Zamasu's eyes are open wide as he realizes and exclaim, "Th-That's right! The Potara!" before he quickly starts to remove the Potara earring from his left ear.
At the same time, Goku mutters, "Last resort...? Potara?" before he jolts and exclaims, "Vegeta!! We're in trouble!! Hurry up!! Finish them now!!!"
But before they can make a move, the situation suddenly changes as Black moves behind Zamasu and grabs the hand holding the Potara making Zamasu exclaim in shock and panic, "W-What are you doing!?"
In response, Black grins and says, "I'm sorry, but the plan has changed... I have no intention of fusing that pitifully weak and limited body with this one full of unlimited potential running the risk of containing it with that pathetically weak existence. The only good thing about your body is that immortality of yours... So... I'm simply going to take that and a few useful things and discard the rest."
Shortly after saying that, Black thrusts his free hand into Zamasu's body much to the shock of not only Zamasu, but everyone else watching the unfolding events.
At this point, a malicious evil grin forms on Black's face as he says, "You see, once I realized the true potential of this magnificent body, I made a quick trip to another alternative timeline and used the Super Dragon Balls to wish for a very peculiar and useful ability used by some of the most dangerous creatures in the universe... I wished to gain the use of the ability known as Absorption!"
The next moment, some form of dark mist is unleashed by Black's body which quickly starts to envelop the struggling Zamasu who lets out a desperate wail before his body is completely enveloped and quickly compressed until it becomes a small pitch-black pearl that is now hovering above his extended hand.
At this point, Goku hastily launches a powerful Ki Blast while cursing, "Damn it!!" hoping to stop whatever evil plan that Black is cooking.
Seeing that, Black simply grins before he forcefully inhales swallowing the pitch-black pearl at the same time as Goku's Ki Blast hits its target and generates a massive explosion whose resulting shockwave levels all the nearby buildings in the area while raising a very thick black smoke.
But before anyone can even feel a hopeful hint that Goku's attack worked, I sense Black's Ki spike massively and surge with such force that releases an enormous pillar of Ki that blows away the thick smoke and pierces through the sky before quickly fading away.
Shortly after that, the sound of footsteps echoes in the area as Black's figure calmly walks out of the slightly smoking crater getting closer to the stunned Goku and Vegeta while Future Trunks stutters in shock, "It... It can't be..."
Soon Black's figure is fully revealed, and his appearance has once again gone through some significant change as he took a form that vaguely reminds me of the Super Saiyan 3.
In this form, Black greatly resembles an ordinary Super Saiyan 3, including increased muscle mass, hairless yet enlarged and pronounced brow ridges, black pupils with colored irises, and thigh-length hair, but keeping to its unique nature, this form retains the pastel pink color and dark magenta aura of Super Saiyan Rosé and it's fierce purple-colored lightning from its predecessor, Super Saiyan Rosé 2.
At the same time, I immediately notice that his attire also changed, he now wears Supreme Kai's clothing that is nearly identical to Future Zamasu's, but with Black's color scheme, undershirt, and red sash.
While I'm taking a closer look at his new form, Black stops walking, strikes a pose with his arms wide open as if welcoming someone, and proudly states with an evil, confident grin on his face, "You should rejoice, mortals... For it is an honor to behold this form. The one true God of all Universes... The Super Saiyan Rosè 3... Is finally born. Now, you foolish mortals, it is time to pay the price for defying God..."

Black then evilly grins before he slightly lifts his feet from the ground and with an insane burst of speed he moves past both Goku and Vegeta hitting them in the abdomen at the same time, so fast that both Saiyans are completely unable to react, not until Black calmly lands behind them and they kneel over in pain and powering down to their base form while holding their guts.
"F-Fuck..."
"Damn it...!!! When did he...!!"
Seeing this scene, Future Trunks can't help but exclaim in shock, "Did... Did he even attack them just now!? I couldn't see a thing..." followed by Goza who comments, "Okay... This is getting outrageous... At his current power... Even I would have some difficulties facing him if I don't go absolutely all out..."
After saying that, Goza turns his head to look at me and says, "Maybe it is time for me to make a move before it is too late..." but I shake my head and say, "Don't worry about that. Sure, the current Black is very powerful and his immortality is annoying. But all that power is gained through the use of countless shortcuts and tricks. It isn't something he rightfully earned so, it can easily be taken away too. Just let him push your Father and Vegeta some more and then we will make our move..."
Then I look at Zamasu's Potara earring on the ground and with a smirk I add, "But before doing that, maybe I should do something to even the field a little bit." before using a bit of Telekinesis to bring the item to me, quickly analyze it using my Cosmic Awareness and immediately using my Spiral Cosmo to create a perfect copy of them.
While I'm doing all that, Black ignores Goku and Vegeta who are slowly getting up to face him again, looks at his hands, and mutters with a satisfied grin, "So this is the power of the Super Saiyan Rosè 3... So this is what it means to go even beyond one limits..."
Then Black starts to chuckle lightly but then it quickly transforms into a full-blown evil laugher that would make even Seto Kaiba envious as he exclaims, "Kuku... Kukukuku... Hahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHA!! HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! MARVELOUS!! MAGNIFICIENT!!!"
At this point, a pissed-off Vegeta glares at the deranged Black and yells, "You bastard... Getting all cocky after just that one attack... The only thing you've done is make it more convenient for me! Now I only have one asshole to kill!!!"
Shortly after yelling that, Vegeta transforms into Super Saiyan Blue and charges at Black from behind with a roar, but Black easily reacts to his charge.
With a confident smile, Black sidesteps out of Vegeta's attack and easily retaliates by hitting him with a hand chop five times in almost an instant sending Vegeta crashing on the ground and forcing him to power down to his base form once again making a worried Goku shout, "Vegeta!!"
Shortly after knocking down Vegeta, Black once again ignores his opponents, looks at his hands with a satisfied grin on his face, and comments, "My body moves exactly the way I want it to. This feels so good. As I expected absorbing my other self was the right move!"
At this point, Goku mutters, "That jerk...!" before he also transforms into Super Saiyan Blue and charges at the apparently distracted Black.
Black, without even turning his head to look at the charging Goku, raises his hand and pushes him back with a simple but precise palm strike, but Goku doesn't give up and after flipping a couple of times, he kicks the ground the once again charges toward Black before throwing a series of punches that get all easily repelled by Black who looks like is simply playing with his opponent.
Seeing that Future Trunks comments in a truly anxious tone, "He's repelling the trajectory of all of his attacks...!!"
At this point, Goku tries to attack Black with a heavy Double Axe Handle and put him on the defensive but to no avail due to the superior speed of Black who then effortlessly dispatches Goku by flipping him down on the ground before he mocks him, "You look like you're not even moving at all. Son Goku. You mouthed off quite a bit to the other me earlier, didn't you... I believe you said something about him being even weaker than Trunks?"
Despite the current situation, Goku once again proves to be very resilient as while Black mocks him, he is stealthy charging his Ki waiting for the perfect moment to retaliate while Black continues his posturing, "Kukuku... You were absolutely right! That version of me was way too weak!! He was only good at healing me and for that immortality of his! But now that I've absorbed him, I gained everything he had making me even more perfect and him completely useless!!"
At this point, Goku takes advantage of Black's elated state to pull off a Kamehameha at Black, leaving him with a hole in his chest while Future Trunks is in awe at Goku who seemingly turned the tides around, "Ooh! He did it!!" but Goza quickly douses his excitement by saying, "Calm down, Trunks. It isn't over yet..."
Indeed, despite the apparently mortal wound, Black shrugs this off and heals it due to his immortality making Future Trunks comment, "It didn't work... As Goza-san said... even after absorbing Zamasu, Black is still immortal..." followed by Black who pats the area that just healed and comments, "Very good... The recovery powers that I've gained by absorbing my other self are still perfectly intact..."
He then chokes Vegeta and Goku with his Telekinesis ready to kill them as he continues to talk, "Now then... I wonder just how high I'll be able to raise my power... How about we find out?"
Shortly after saying that, Black let out a shout as he unleashed an incredibly powerful Kiai that generated a shockwave equal in power to that generated by an atomic explosion that completely blew away most of the city leaving behind only barren earth, a few ruins, a gigantic crater below an ecstatic Black, and of course, the small area under the protection of my Spatial Barrier that can be basically considered a separate dimension in itself and thus completely untouchable by anything that Black can throw at it.
Despite the power of the Kiai that Black unleashed, Vegeta, Goku, Future Trunks, Goza, and I are still perfectly fine, well at least, Future Trunks, Goza, and I are as I erected a simple barrier using my Spiral Cosmo, while Goku and Vegeta were hit quite badly by it, however, even if hurt they are still alive just groaning in pain at the moment.
Seeing the result of his unleashed power, Black begins to laugh and shouts in triumph, "It's perfect... It's too perfect! It's better than I'd even imagined! This overwhelming power!! This is it!! This is what I've been searching for!! Did you see that!? The era where powerless Gods like the Supreme Kai can reign freely is over!! The countless Gods of all the planets... The Kai of the North, West, South, and East... The 12 Universe's Supreme Kai... and the Gods of Destruction... None of them are needed anymore! I am the only intelligence that needs to exist any longer!!"
While he is saying all that, I take advantage of the time he is wasting in that deranged speech to calmly use Telekinesis to pull the hurt Goku and Vegeta to our side before quickly healing them once again.
Black then ends his speech and starts to fire off an Energy Barrage in an attempt to kill us but since everyone is under the protection of my barrier we are all perfectly safe.
As Black continues to recklessly fire off that Energy Barrage, I focus on Goku and Vegeta, offer them the Potara Earring in my hand, and suggest, "If you guys still want to fight against Black, then your only chance is to use these..."
Goke takes the offered item and looking at them he says, "Jayr... these are... the Potara Earrings..." which makes Future Trunks ask, "Potara Earrings?"
Goza then quickly explains, "These earrings are worn by all Supreme Kais as part of their standard outfits, coming in various colors. The earrings can grant the wearer certain privileges, such as using the Time Rings that are exclusive to Supreme Kais. But most importantly the earrings also have the ability to fuse two people into a single almighty entity." shocking Future Trunks who repeats, "An almighty entity!?"
At the same time, Vegeta snorts clearly displeased by the idea, but I quickly try to reassure him, "Don't worry, Vegeta. Like always the incompeted and ignorant Supreme Kai of Universe 7 misinformed you. The Potara Fusion is permanent only when the ones who use it are Supreme Kai. When other people use it the fusion lasts only an hour. In fact, considering yours and Goku's current power it may last even less than that."
Hearing that, Goku looks at Vegeta and asks, "So? What do you think?"
Vegeta looks at Goku, then at the Potara earrings, and then he looks at Future Trunks for a while longer before he snorts and says, "Hmph! Very well... as much as I hate it... I'll do it!!"
In response to Vegeta's words, Goku grins and throws him a Potara Earring and then they put on the earrings on the opposite ear of their partner.
The orb on the earring glows and both Goku and Vegeta are attracted to each other until they clash and with a blinding flash of light the new being emerges glowing in green light with the earrings still on each of the two ears.
